HAMDEN — A quick-hitting rain storm suspended play at the 111th Connecticut Amateur golf tournament Monday, but not before Cheshire's Ben Day shot an opening round 69 at New Haven Country Club. It was one of just three completed rounds under par.

Day, who plays out of New Haven, had five birdies total, including birds on three of his first four holes. He got as low as 3-under, with the only blemish a double bogey on No. 6.
